As has been stated numerous times on this list you should keep any FR 
config file you modify or any file you add under source code control. 
Your repository located somewhere outside the raddb directory so you 
don't accidentally remove it during an upgrade and the repository should 
be backed up. This is a much better solution than keeping backup copies.
